Conclusion:
1. What additional tools may have helped to measure these parts? Answer: It depends on what you were trying to measure. The Dial Caliper measured just about every length we needed for the object. If you weren't look for the length and maybe the mass, you could get a scale. 2. Which measuring device (the caliper or the ruler) provides the best measurements? Answer: The caliper provides the better measurements because of how accurate it can get the length. The caliper captures the measurement to the 1000th of an inch. |
